‘Millionaire Matchmaker’ Accused Rapist Says Those Women Wanted It

Ah, as if the yuck factor wasn’t high enough with Millionaire Matchmaker men charged with violent crimes against women, Michael Bernback has upped the ante by saying that all three women wanted it, including one who he alleges let him “pee in her mouth” while tied up in one of Bernback’s S&M devices. Bern back is also charged with drugging his victims to make all of this happen. You can’t make this stuff up.

As the Inquisitr reported, last month, the second Millionaire Matchmaker client was arrested for violent crime against women. John Bonavia was arrested after the police came to his house after a noise complaint. He was uncooperative, so the police pushed into his home to find a woman bloody and beaten. Bonavia was also arrested in 2014 after he assaulted and choked a former girlfriend.

TMZ is reporting that Bernback is being defiant, proclaiming that his sexual conquests were all consensual.

“Bernback says in legal docs, obtained by TMZ, he met all three women on sexual hook-up websites. He claims at least two of the women knew they’d be engaging in bondage and/or anal sex — a totally different story than what his eight felony and three misdemeanor charges indicate.”

Fox News is asking the big questions about how Millionaire Matchmaker vets their “millionaires.” In this current charge, Bernback is charged with raping three women, but Bernback insists “they all wanted it.” Former ‘Matchmaker’ Dustin Pfaff says that (to the horror of all of the women who went out on dates) matchmakers tend to forgo background checks on clients, as knowledge of their past crimes could make the matchmaker liable if the client commits another crime, according to Fox News.

“Part of a matchmaker’s job is to read people. Every single human has a dark side in them, and it’s impossible to know what will bring out that dark side,” Pfaff, who now contributes at the matchmaking site DestinandRachel.com, told FOX411. “A psycho is a psycho.”

Even more alarming to many people who went on the show to meet a millionaire, the “millionaires” on the show didn’t even have to be millionaires. You could just say you were worth millions, and nobody checked.

“You could say you’re worth $75 million, they don’t care. They don’t check,” the source said. “They just want you to be a dating mess and make good TV.”

Fox News is also reporting that John Bonavia’s crime was so severe, he was originally charged with attempted murder.

The Inquisitr says that Bernback was charged on September 3 with eight felonies: forcible rape, rape by use of drugs, rape of an unconscious person, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by a foreign object, attempted sodomy by use of force, and two counts of administering a drug to commit rape, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

The L.A. Times says that the police are still searching for more victims of Michael Bernback in the Sherman Oaks area. According to the LAPD, detectives “believe there may be other unreported victims” and are asking members of the public to come forward.

Do you think it’s right that Millionaire Matchmaker doesn’t do a background check on their clients? Would you go on the show anyway in an effort to meet a millionaire?
